Supabase KMP

Kotlin Multiplatform SDK for Supabase — type-safe, coroutine-first, modular client for every platform Kotlin runs on.

Features

• Type-safe Result monad — SupabaseResult<T> with map, flatMap, recover — no exceptions leak to callers
• Value class IDs — UserId, BucketId, SessionId, ChannelId prevent mixups at compile time
• PostgREST filter DSL — eq, neq, gt, like, ilike, in, is, textSearch, contains, and more
• OAuth (17 providers) + MFA — TOTP and phone-based multi-factor auth with PKCE flow support
• Session management — Auto-refresh, token persistence, SessionState observation via StateFlow
• Realtime WebSocket — Phoenix protocol with auto-reconnection, exponential backoff, presence
• Edge Functions — Invoke Supabase Edge Functions with typed request/response
• Manual composition — Explicit factory helpers for each feature module
• 15 platform targets — Android, iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, JVM, Linux, Windows, and WasmJs

kotlin {
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation(libs.supabase.client)
            implementation(libs.supabase.auth)
            implementation(libs.supabase.database)
            implementation(libs.supabase.storage)

Usage

Create a Client

val client = Supabase.create(
    projectUrl = "https://your-project.supabase.co",
    apiKey = "your-anon-key",
) {
    logging = true
}

val auth = createAuthClient(client)
val database = createDatabaseClient(client)
val storage = createStorageClient(client)
val realtime = createRealtimeClient(client)
val functions = createFunctionsClient(client)

Database — PostgREST with Filter DSL

@Serializable
data class Todo(val id: String, val title: String, val done: Boolean)

@Serializable
data class TodoPatch(val done: Boolean)

@Serializable
data class DashboardStatsRequest(val user_id: String)

@Serializable
data class DashboardStats(val total: Int)

val todos: SupabaseResult<List<Todo>> = database.selectTyped<Todo>(
    table = "todos",
) {
    eq("done", "false")
    gt("priority", "3")
    order("created_at", ascending = false)
    limit(25)
}

todos.onSuccess { items ->
    println("Got ${items.size} todos")
}.onFailure { error ->
    println("Error: ${error.message}")
}

val result = database.insertTyped(
    table = "todos",
    value = Todo(id = "1", title = "Ship it", done = false),
)

database.updateTyped(
    table = "todos",
    value = TodoPatch(done = true),
) {
    eq("id", "1")
}

val stats: SupabaseResult<DashboardStats> = database.rpcTyped<DashboardStatsRequest, DashboardStats>(
    function = "get_dashboard_stats",
    request = DashboardStatsRequest(user_id = "123"),
)

Auth — Sign In with Session Management

val auth = createAuthClient(client)
val sessionManager = createSessionManager(authClient = auth, supabaseClient = client)

auth.signUpWithEmail(
    email = "user@example.com",
    password = "secure-password",
).onSuccess { session ->
    sessionManager.saveSession(session)
}

auth.signInWithEmail(
    email = "user@example.com",
    password = "secure-password",
).onSuccess { session ->
    sessionManager.saveSession(session)
}

val oauthUrl = auth.getOAuthSignInUrl(
    provider = OAuthProvider.GOOGLE,
    redirectTo = "myapp://callback",
)

val pkce = auth.generatePkceParams()
auth.exchangeCodeForSession(authCode = "code-from-callback", codeVerifier = pkce.codeVerifier)

val accessToken = sessionManager.accessToken!!
auth.mfaEnroll(factorType = MfaFactorType.TOTP, accessToken = accessToken).onSuccess { factor ->
    auth.mfaVerify(
        factorId = factor.id,
        challengeId = "challenge-id",
        code = "123456",
        accessToken = accessToken,
    )
}

sessionManager.sessionState.collect { state ->
    when (state) {
        is SessionState.Authenticated -> println("User: ${state.session.user.id}")
        is SessionState.Expired -> println("Session expired, refreshing...")
        SessionState.NotAuthenticated -> println("Signed out")
        SessionState.Loading -> println("Loading...")
    }
}

Storage — File Upload & Download

val storage = createStorageClient(client)

storage.upload(
    bucket = "avatars",
    path = "user123/avatar.png",
    data = imageBytes,
    contentType = "image/png",
).onSuccess { key ->
    println("Uploaded: $key")
}

storage.createSignedUrl(
    bucket = "avatars",
    path = "user123/avatar.png",
    expiresIn = 3600,
).onSuccess { url ->
    println("Signed URL: $url")
}

val publicUrl = storage.getPublicUrl(bucket = "avatars", path = "user123/avatar.png")

storage.list(bucket = "avatars", prefix = "user123/").onSuccess { files ->
    files.forEach { println(it.name) }
}

Realtime — WebSocket Subscriptions

val realtime = createRealtimeClient(client)

realtime.connect()
realtime.connectionState.collect { state ->
    when (state) {
        is ConnectionState.Connected -> println("Connected")
        is ConnectionState.Reconnecting -> println("Reconnecting attempt ${state.attempt}...")
        is ConnectionState.Failed -> println("Failed: ${state.reason}")
        else -> {}
    }
}

val subscription = realtime.channel("todos")
    .onPostgresChange(table = "todos", event = PostgresChangeEvent.INSERT) { record ->
        println("New todo: $record")
    }
    .onPostgresChange(table = "todos", event = PostgresChangeEvent.DELETE) { record ->
        println("Deleted: $record")
    }
    .subscribe()

realtime.channel("room:lobby")
    .onPresence { state ->
        println("Online users: ${state.size}")
    }
    .subscribe()

subscription.broadcast(event = "cursor", payload = buildJsonObject {
    put("x", 100)
    put("y", 200)
})

subscription.unsubscribe()
realtime.disconnect()

Edge Functions

val functions = createFunctionsClient(client)

functions.invoke(
    functionName = "hello-world",
    body = """{"name": "Kotlin"}""",
).onSuccess { data ->
    println("Response: $data")
}

functions.invokeTyped<WelcomeResponse>(
    functionName = "hello-world",
    body = """{"name": "Kotlin"}""",
).onSuccess { response ->
    println("Message: ${response.message}")
}

functions.invokeWithBody(
    functionName = "process-image",
    body = imageBytes,
    contentType = "image/png",
)
